+ NPT Parking Charges to go up

Reader reports

"Readers might like to note that NPT are consulting on new car parking charges throughout the council's area. At Gnoll Country Park, you can currently park for a daily charge of £2. They now propose that you pay £2.50 for up to 4 hours and £4 for the day. The season ticket for the Gnoll would rise from £40 to £52 - that's an increase of a staggering 30%. Everything is going up - basic charging in the car parks around town, and permits for residents' parking. The Devil is all in the detail - see NPT's website. And just you wait until you see next year's council tax." bill.

"It would appear that this council are determine to grab as much money as possible out of the public of Neath and destroy the town, just look at what to me is a vindictive move when at a cost of thousands of pounds they painted double yellow lines on both sides of the “road to nowhere” approximately a half mile of road i.e. the Millands road leading down to the site of the now closed “Metal Box” to prevent the parking which has gone on for years without any problems, there can only be one reason for this which is an attempt to force drivers into the adjacent car park."

Remember that councillors who care for Neath read this website, so make your views known in READERS LETTERS.
